Show Gold on the Y. Sam Whitford and Andrew Pat-tison Pat-tison have contracted for the grading grad-ing of the R. G. W. wye at the mouth of Sevier canyon and . began work on their contract . last week. On Sunday they were inspecting the rout of the proposed line and came upon a bolder weighing about three hundred pounds which they, being prospectors, at once recognized as gold quartz. A close examination disclsed free gold in nuggets as big as pinheads and the rock, a yellow quartz, is very like the ore found in the Sevier district. From its smooth appearance and because it differs materially from the immediate vicinity vicin-ity in which it was found Messers. Whitford and Pattison are of the opinion that the yellow quartz has been washed down the canyons from some distant spot. Richfield Advocate. |
